Description
Rarely would one the most sought after models of Malcolm Campbells Bluebird be offered for sale, I have it on TradeMe because i would dearly love it to stay in NZ It is based on the Land Speed record breaking car of 1931,when it was redesigned by Reid Ralton and bodied by Gurney Nutting and Co, I am speaking here of the actual car not the model.
This model was made by Gunthermann Toys in the early 1930's. It is in absolutely outstanding condition and is complete with the often missing nose cone and driver, the clockwork motor and the braking lever work as they should. I have had the front guards repaired but you would not know,the craftsman who did this is just that, a craftsman. There is no rust and the paintwork is superb. I have spoken at length with an international collector who openly stated it is the best he had ever seen,cosmetically and for its originality. There is one currently for sale in USA, google it under Kendon Antiques, this one is far superior. The perspex glass that fits in the windscreen area has long gone but not hard to replace.
